Equipment for respiratory studies

Why it matters

Why does spirometry calibration matter more than most people realise?
Respiratory trial endpoints like FEV1 depend on spirometry equipment meeting recognised calibration standards, since even small measurement drift can make a genuine treatment effect disappear into noise, or invent one that isn't there. Calibration isn't a formality in respiratory research, it's often the difference between usable and unusable primary endpoint data.

Exacerbation-driven endpoints need equipment ready for unscheduled visits
Conditions like COPD and asthma are defined by unpredictable exacerbations, and many trial endpoints depend on capturing lung function and vital signs data during those unscheduled visits, not just at planned study timepoints. That means equipment needs to be consistently available at site, not just delivered ahead of a known visit schedule.

Home spirometry is turning respiratory trials into decentralised ones
Connected spirometers and home monitoring devices are increasingly replacing some in-clinic visits for asthma and COPD trials, letting patients record lung function between appointments and giving trial teams a more continuous picture of disease control than periodic clinic visits alone.

What we do

Our global distribution network puts calibrated equipment on site for respiratory studies anywhere in the world, whenever it's needed. Lung function testing covers spirometers and connected monitoring devices. Vital signs monitoring covers pulse oximeters and vital signs monitors. Day-to-day site operations covers incubators, refrigerators, freezers, thermometers, temperature dataloggers, and scales. Everything is available fully calibrated and ready to use.
